A New Species

The described species of the genus Dodecaceria are reviewed. Fourteen species are recognized and their diagnostic characters are given. A new species, Dodecaceria berkeleyi, is described from New Zealand where it is found boring in the shells of large gastropod molluscs. An outline is given of the nature of the skin pigments, which are similar to the arenicolochrome of lugworms. Asexual reproduction in the genus is reviewed, and an account is given of autotomy in D. berkeleyi, followed by regeneration to give rise to two individuals, a method of reproduction similar to that which occurs in the colonial tube builder Dodecaceria fistulicola. An advanced larval stage found in the burrows of D. berkeleyi is described.

A New Species

The male and female of a new species of long-horned caddisfly,Nectopsyche paramo, are described from the high Andes of Ecuador. The new species was found above 4,000 m, representing the highest recorded elevation for a species in the genus. The larval stage of the species is also described. Only a total of 13 larvae were collected during a 17-month sampling program and 11 adults, suggesting that the species is rare. Larvae were found mainly in leaf packs. A male and female were observed in a mating swarm ca. 3 m above a stream during late afternoon. In addition, we redescribe the adult male ofNectopsyche spiloma (Ross), previously known from Ecuador from unsubstantiated literature records.

1. A new species of the Ascothoracican genus, Bacca-laureus is described. It is distinguished by the possession of lateral processes which contain branches of the gut and of the gonads. 2. The orientation of the segmented body within the mantle is described, and a detailed description of the segmented body is given. 3. A description of the structure and method of attachment of the mantle is given, and of the structure of the lateral coils. 4. The nauplius larva, found within the lumen of the coils, is described. There is a possible further larval stage in some of the larger parasites. 5. The systematic position of the parasite, and the general relationships of the genus Baccalaureus are discussed.

AbstractLarval characterizations for the genera of North American Brachycentridae are revised and two new genera created, bringing to five the total number now recognized on this continent. Previous concepts of larval morphology inMicrasemaare emended. Discovery of the larval stage ofBrachycentrus(Amiocentrus)aspilusRoss necessitates elevation of this subgenus to generic status. Association of larvae with the two North American species placed inOligoplectrumnecessitates removal of one,O.dimicki(Milne), toMicrasema. Discovery of all stages of a new species on Mount Hood, Oregon, necessitates creation of a new genus. A provisional larval key to the genera of the North American Brachycentridae is proposed and the phylogenetic relationships of the genera are discussed. Validity of the Asian genusOligoplectrodesis questioned.

A New Species

A new tanaupodid mite, Lassenia newelli sp. nov. is described based on a larva parasitising the aphid Myzocallis coryli (Goeze, 1778) (Aphididae) in Scotland, Great Britain. It is the ninth species of Lassenia known from the larval stage, the second host association for the genus and the first one for which the specific affiliation of both the parasite and its host is provided. The finding contributes to the taxonomy and biology of Tanaupodidae which have been considered to form one of the basal clades of Parasitengona. The discovery of elongate seta on the dorsal surface of tarsus III in L. newelli, a characteristic also shared by the monotypic Amphotrombium, supports the hypothesis of possible links between the tanaupodids and amphotrombiids as early derivative taxa of parasitengone mites.

A new species, Electrogena sartorii sp. nov., is described at the larval stage using molecular and morphological data from Iran. In addition, two species; Electrogena gibedede Sroka & Godunko, 2012 and Anapos kugleri (Demoulin, 1973) are recorded from Iran for the first time. Considering the fact that many areas in Iran are not well explored an urgent and complete survey, in particular on the order Ephemeroptera, is needed to uncover the real biodiversity.

A New Species

Platybaetis bishopi Müller-Liebenau, 1980 was originally described from Malaysia only at the larval stage. We provide the first description of the imaginal stage of P. bishopi based on materials from Thailand. The imago of this species can be separated from the known species by coloration of abdominal terga and coloration of wings. A new species, Platybaetis nayokensis sp. nov., is described based on male and female imagos and larvae from Thailand. The larva of this species is mainly distinguished by medium acute spines on the posterior margin of the abdominal terga and two apical setae on the glossa, which seem to be shorter than in other species. The imago can be separated by the abdominal color pattern. The larva of this genus is adapted to live on wet rocks projecting out of water; it prefers large stones near small waterfalls or areas between two large rocks in running water.

Vietnamella chebalingensis Tong, sp. nov. is described based on larval stage from China. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: body purple black with mottled white markings; length of inner pairs of cephalic projection approximately half of the outer pairs; posterior margin of abdominal tergites I–VI and VIII–X each with a pair of pointed projections, but tergite VII bearing only a single projection. The morphological evidence and molecular data (COI, Kimura 2-parameter) support that this new species represents the sixth species of the genus Vietnamella. An identification key to known larvae of the genus Vietnamella is provided.

We provide the first commented checklist of Armenian mayflies, based on all relevant literature and recent extensive sampling of 72 localities throughout Armenia during 2011, 2014, and 2015. Altogether 46 species are listed, eight of them reported from Armenia for the first time. One new species, Ecdyonurus (Ecdyonurus) eurycephalus sp. nov. is described (larva and male imago) based on morphological and molecular (COI) data. The species is characterized by a unique head shape in male imago and by the presence of tracheal filaments on gill plate VII in the larval stage.
